A4Deputies investigate double shooting at assisted living facility By FRED HIERS Chronicle Reporter Two gunshots at a Citrus Springs assisted living fa cility Friday morning left a man and woman dead. The Citrus County Sher iff’s Ofce was investi gating the shooting at 907 West Anderson Lane in Citrus Springs. Friday morning, depu ties had cordoned off the area outside at the Always There 4 You Inc. assisted living facility. “Preliminary informa tion revealed that a male subject shot a female sub ject outside of the facility before turning the rearm on himself,” according to a CCSO media release. “The incident appears to be do mestic in nature. There is no active threat to the com munity.” CCSO spokeswoman Brittney Carman told the Chronicle that while the shooting is under investi gation, it appears a case of suicide, assisted suicide. “Additional details will be provided as they are made available by ofcials investigating this case. No further details can be released at this time,” ac cording to the media re lease. Citrus County’s suicide rate among residents 70 years old to 95 years old was twice the state aver age rate in 2021, the latest year data was available, ac cording to Florida Health Charts. During that year the sui cide rate for that age group was 60.3 per 100,000 peo ple. The Florida average rate was 25.2 per 100,000 people. In comparison, the Citrus County suicide rate for res idents age 20-40 in 2021 was 35.7, just over half the older senior citizen group. Fred Hiers is a reporter at the Citrus Chronicle.

Sugarmill Woods project gets the ax By FRED HIERS Chronicle Reporter The owners of Sweetwater Homes of Citrus are back to square one in its hopes of the county rezoning nearly 50 acres in Sugar mill Woods’ Oak Village. The current and unchanged zoning there limits develop ment to a maximum of 95 single-family homes. For the more than 100 Sugarmill Woods residents in the county commission chambers Thursday, the commission’s unanimous decision to deny the devel oper’s request to allow as many as 250 rental units in the area was a home run. The developer, Sweetwa ter Homes of Citrus, nor its engineer, returned the Chronicle’s telephone call, as to their future plans. Nearly 40 residents ad dressed the county commis sion on the issue of whether to allow the rezoning. The developers, during the 3 1/2 hour meeting, were al most friendless in the stand ing-room only chambers. Almost all the speakers were in opposition to the change, and many peppered the developer and his few supporters, with shouted insults, personal attacks, and accusations of greed and a willingness to ruin their community with rental units. The county commission ers were little better off and often a target of speakers accusing them of already having their minds made up in support of the developer and the hearing merely a formality. Some in the audience during public input time warned commissioners that Sugarmill Woods typically had a high voter turnout and the county’s ve elected of cials on the dais would do well to remember it. Ocala attorney Lauren Merriam, representing many of the residents, said the trend over the decades from the original Sugarmill Woods design was for den sity to decline and the trend needed to continue rather than reverse. “We need to reduce, re duce, reduce,” he said to a cheering audience. He warned the design that developer and CEO of Sweetwater, Steve Ponticos, was showing the commis sion was not binding and could change. Under the proposal, all the units would be rentals and owned by the developer or sold to another investor. He called Ponticos’ pre sentation a sales job. “It’s salesmanship. Good salesmanship, but it’s sales manship,” he said. Sugarmill Woods resident Patrick Goodman lives near where the developer wanted to build. Goodman said he bought in the community, in part, because it attracted people in an income bracket who could afford the properties, have nance management skills, and an ability to nancially maintain their properties. If the developer had his way, Goodman said, he and his neighbors would have nothing in common with the new development of rent als or the people who lived there. Resident Thomas Sholar said Ponticos’ presentation was misleading because the 250 units, a mixture of duplexes, townhomes, and villas, would be built on just over 30 acres. That’s because some of the near 50 acres would be earmarked for retention ponds and oth er infrastructure. “That’s not compatible with Oak Village,” he said. “It’s too many structures on an acre of land, OK.” Part of Ponticos’ pitch was that as seniors approached their 80s and 90s, they wanted to downsize, and many can’t afford to main tain their larger homes any more. His project would help solve that because it al lowed those “super seniors” to stay in their neighbor hoods, close to friends, and their religious communities. Resident Dan Donoghue said the proposed area wasn’t designed for that many units, that many peo ple, or the trafc they would generate.

By VALERIE GONZALEZ, ELLIOT SPAGAT and GIOVANNA DELL’ORTO Associated Press EL PASO, Texas — The border between the U.S. and Mexico was relatively calm Friday, offering few signs of the chaos that was feared following a rush by worried migrants to enter the U.S. before the end of pandemic-related immigra tion restrictions. Less than 24 hours after the rules known as Title 42 were lifted, migrants and government ofcials were still assessing the ef fect of the change and the new regulations adopted by President Joe Biden’s ad ministration to stabilize the region. “We did not see any sub stantial increase in immi gration this morning,” said Blas Nunez-Neto assistant secretary for border and immigration policy at the Department of Homeland Security. He said the agency did not have specic num bers. Migrants along the border continued to wade into the Rio Grande to take their chances getting into the U.S. while defying ofcials shouting for them to turn back. Others hunched over cellphones trying to access an appointment-scheduling app that that is a centerpiece of the new system. Migrants with appointments walked across a bridge hoping for a new life. And lawsuits sought to stop some of the measures. The Biden administration has said the revamped sys tem is designed to crack down on illegal crossings and to offer a new legal path way for migrants who often pay thousands of dollars to smugglers to get them to the border. On Friday, Biden commended Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez for his country’s collaboration with the U.S. and Canada to establish migration hubs in Latin America where asy lum seekers will be able to apply for refuge.

IN BRIEF Limbaugh gets his road, thanks to Ingoglia By MICHAEL D. BATES Chronicle ReporterT he late Rush Limbaugh blazed a trail for conservative talk-show hosts during his 33-year tenure on the radio. His bombastic personal ity was legendary and he was a rat ings jugger naut. Presi dent Donald Trump in 2020 award ed the right-wing icon the Presiden tial Medal of Freedom. A year later, Lim baugh died of lung cancer. To honor him, Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, who represents Citrus, Hernando, Sumter and Pasco counties, led Senate Bill 982 in February to rename a stretch between U.S. 41 and State Road 50 in Hernando County as “Rush Limbaugh Way.” Florida lawmakers this week green-lighted the bill as part of an overall $4 billion roads plan called “Moving Florida For ward.” “Rush Limbaugh is an American icon, having in spired me, as well as tens of millions of Americans, to get involved in politics,” Ingoglia said in a prepared statement from February. “He stood for freedom and American excellence,” Ingoglia added. “His pass ing left a void in the con servative talk radio space that will never be lled. This road designation will remind people of his pas sion and love of country.” When pitching the plan in January, DeSantis put forward examples of 20 needed road projects. Al though none are from Cit rus County, there is one that could have a local im pact: $479 million to add auxiliary lanes to Interstate 75 between Wildwood and Ocala. That site has been a con gestion bottleneck for years and there’s been calls to improve that location and other I-75 and connector roads to relieve congestion. FDOT ofcials last year claimed a new northern turnpike extension was needed to enhance regional connectivity, accommodate increased trafc demand necessitated by population growth and improve hurri cane evacuation. The agency proposed four corridor alternatives to accomplish those goals. Citrus County residents op posed all four routes and FDOT eventually scrapped the idea in favor of im provements along I-75.

Kaylee Cumi Henderson, 29, was arrested on two fel ony charges of possession of a controlled substance without prescription, one misdemeanor charge of possession of drug para phernalia and one misde meanor charge of driving with a suspended or re voked license. Deputies spotted Hender son in a black car during a routine security check at the Wawa gas station in Le canto, according to the Cit rus County Sheriff’s Ofce arrest report. The deputy had interacted with Henderson in the past, and was aware her license was suspended since 2019, the arrest report said. Henderson then allegedly left the Wawa and deputies pulled her over at a nearby Circle K gas station. Deputies put Henderson in handcuffs before asking if she had anything on her. Henderson allegedly said she had a “crushed meth bubble” under her bra strap. While handcuffed she pulled a broken glass pipe out of the front of her bra and placed it in the of cer’s hand, according to the arrest report. She then reportedly told law enforcement the resi due in the pipe was meth. Deputies searched the car and found two pieces of foil containing cocaine and fen tanyl, respectively. A blue glass pipe was also found, and allegedly contained traces of meth also, accord ing to the arrest report. When deputies confront ed her afterward, Hender son rst denied knowing the foil was in the car, before admitting she was aware of it and typically received narcotics from her supplier in foil, according to the report. Deputies found a total of 0.23 grams of cocaine and around 0.1 grams of fentan yl, according to the report. Henderson was taken to Citrus County Detention Facility. Her bond was set at $5,500. Contact Chronicle reporter Aidan Bush at 352-270-1823 or via e-mail at aidan.bush@ chronicleonline.com.Bond is set for her at $5,500 No permits are currently being issued at Inverness Village Unit 4 By MICHAEL D. BATES Chronicle Reporter As of April 26, the county stopped issuing new build ing permits for three months at Inverness Village Unit 4. The idea was to give coun ty commissioners time to dig deeper into the road and drainage mess that has plagued that community for years. Growth Management Di rector Eric Landon told commissioners Thursday that he implemented the no-permit issuance per their directions. “Since the last meeting, no permits have gone out of any kind,” he said. Landon said those that had previously begun – cer ticates of occupancy and inspections – will still be processed. “But nothing new has gone out the door,” he said. “We continue to go out there (Inverness Village) weekly if not daily to check for silt fence, trash and land-clearing,” Landon add ed. Landon said a special mas ter in June will hear a hand ful of cases regarding land clearing at the site, unless they are resolved by then. “The special master will hear those and (they) could potentially have a daily ne while they’re out of compli ance,” he said. The board is also asking another law rm to look at the possibility of such things as a long-term mor atorium on issuing permits and to inform the county of its rights and responsibilities concerning the roads County attorney Denise Dymond Lyn told the board Thursday that she is getting a retainer agreement signed to bring before the board. Residents have been urg ing commissioners at sev eral meetings over the year to repair their roads, which are some of the worst in the county. Michael D. Bates is a staff writer with the Citrus County Chronicle and can be reached at mbates@chronicleonline.com.

Ron Rewald, a former real estate developer, reminded the commissioners that state law allowed the commission to keep the zoning as it was. He also asked whether the developers had submitted traf c and ood studies. He also warned that while much of the proposed de-velopment was also meant for young working people, in addition to seniors, the younger lifestyle brought with it a louder lifestyle, and music, and motorcycles. “ThatÂ’s whatÂ’s going to happen here,” he told com-missioners. “ThatÂ’s whatÂ’s going to rest on your shoulders.” He warned he was considering a recall petition of the commissioners. A few speakers, however, were in favor of the rentals and told stories about how they, or their children, needed a temporary place to live be-fore they could afford a home of their own. Those kinds of comments were not well re-ceived by the audience. Commissioners said they understood that the county needed workforce housing, but agreed it wasnÂ’t fair to residents to put it in Sugar-mill Woods and among sin-gle-family homeowners. Commissioner Holly Davis said that while sheÂ’s supported workforce and af-fordable housing in the past, Sugarmill Woods was not the place for it. But she also said she took offense when audience members accused commis-sioners of already having made up their minds before public input and they were working hand-in-glove with developers. Davis said she offers communities every opportuni-ty to meet with her and to invite her to be a speaker where they live. To those who described commissioners as corrupt, she said, “I feel sorry for you. You have every oppor-tunity to know my heart.” Davis said the “anger and vitriol” between neighbors, residents, and toward local elected of cials, needed to stop.

Commissioners voted against the proposed development. asylum in the U.S. if they did not rst apply online or seek protection in the coun-tries they traveled through. Families allowed in as their immigration cases progress will face curfews and GPS monitoring. Across the river from El Paso in Ciudad Juárez, many migrants watched their cellphones in hopes of getting a coveted appoint-ment to seek entry. The ap-plication to register to enter the U.S. had changed, and some were explaining to others how to use it. Nearby, other migrants were charging their phones on a lamppost to try to get an appointment. Most of them were resigned to wait. “I hope itÂ’s a little better and that the appointments are streamlined a little more,” said Yeremy De-pablos, 21, a Venezuelan traveling with seven cous-ins who has been waiting in the city for a month. Fearing deportation, Depablos did not want to cross illegally. “We have to do it the legal way.” The legal pathways touted by the administration consist of a program that permits up to 30,000 peo-ple a month from Haiti, Cuba, Nicaragua and Ven-ezuela to enter if they ap-ply online with a nancial sponsor and enter through an airport. About 100 processing centers are opening in Gua-temala, Colombia and else-where for migrants to ap-ply to go to the U.S., Spain or Canada. Up to 1,000 can enter daily through land crossings with Mexico if they snag an appointment on the app. If it works, the system could fundamentally alter how migrants come to the southern border. But Biden, who is running for reelection, faces wither-ing criticism from migrant advocates, who say heÂ’s abandoning more human-itarian methods, and from Republicans, who claim heÂ’s soft on border security. On Friday morning, small groups of Haitian migrants with appointments to re-quest asylum crossed the Gateway International Bridge connecting Mat-amoros, Mexico, with Brownsville, Texas. They crossed with the assistance of a nongovernmental or-ganization, passing the usual commuter traf c of students and workers lined up on the pedestrian path of the bridge. Car traf c appeared normal. Melissa López, executive director for Diocesan Mi-grant and Refugee Services at El Paso said the streets were calm Friday, with few migrants present. After talking with many migrants, she said they are willing to follow the path-way created by the federal government, but there is also fear about deportation and possible criminal pen-alties for people who cross the border illegally. The lull in border crossings comes after days in which large numbers of mi-grants crossed in hopes of being allowed to stay in the United States before the Ti-tle 42 restrictions expired. Farther west, hundreds of migrants, mostly fami-lies, sat in two dozen rows between the border walls between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico, as Bor-der Patrol agents walked among them and select-ed who would be allowed to leave to be processed. When some got up with them, those left behind cheered. BORDERFrom page A1

Citrus County Chronicle Saturday, May 13, 2023 A5FloridaÂ’s citrus industry numbers continue to sag By JIM TURNER News Service of Florida TALLAHASSEE — Pro duction numbers for Flor idaÂ’s orange crop continue to decline as the citrus in dustryÂ’s storm-battered sea son nears an end. The U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday is sued a forecast that said Florida growers this sea son are on pace to ll 15.65 million boxes of oranges, which would be the lowest total since the 1934-1935 season. The new forecast also was down from an April projection of 16.1 million boxes. Florida growers produced 41.2 million boxes of or anges during the 2021-2022 session, which itself saw a large decline. While additional numbers will be released in June and July, Florida Citrus Mutu al CEO Matt Joyner called FridayÂ’s forecast “the end of a difcult harvest sea son” and said the focus has turned to next season. In addition to sustaining heavy damage in last fallÂ’s Hurricane Ian, the industry has battled for two decades against deadly citrus green ing disease and develop ment pressures. “There are many reasons for Florida growers to be optimistic about the come back of FloridaÂ’s signature crop,” Joyner said. “New treatment methods applied this season are proving ef fective. The Florida Legis lature delivered tremendous support for the industry in the form of funding for greening research, replant ing assistance and hurri cane relief.” Lawmakers last week passed a proposed 2023-2024 budget that would in crease funding for different aspects of the citrus indus try to about $65 million. If the spending is ap proved by Gov. Ron De Santis, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services would get $49.5 million for citrus protec tion and research, includ ing large-scale eld trials on trees that are resistant to Huanglongbing, which is the formal name for citrus greening, and pests. Among other things, the state De partment of Citrus would get $5 million for marketing. The budget for the current year, which will end June 30, includes $37 million to assist the citrus industry. Just over two decades ago, the state produced about 200 million industry-stan dard 90-pound boxes of or anges and 50 million boxes of grapefruit a season. The federal forecast Fri day gave grapefruit produc tion a slight boost, putting it at an estimated 1.8 million boxes this season. That was up from 1.6 million boxes in a March forecast and 1.7 million boxes in an April forecast. But that is still down from 3.33 million boxes produced during the 2021-2022 growing season. FridayÂ’s forecast for spe cialty crops, listed as tan gerines and mandarins, held steady for a third consecu tive month at 500,000 box es. Last season, specialty crops lled 750,000 boxes. Combined, the box count would be the lowest since the 1929-1930 season, when the industry faced a Medi terranean fruit-y invasion and growers were still re covering from severe hurri canes in 1926 and 1928. The 2022-2023 seasonÂ’s rst forecast came in Octo ber, shortly after Hurricane Ian hit the state in late Sep tember and caused wide spread damage to groves. The growing season, which ends in June, also took a hit from a winter freeze. John Kiernan, president and chief executive ofcer of the Fort Myers-based Alico, Inc., a major citrus grower, said in a quarterly earnings report last week that the company is focused on preparing groves for the 2023-2024 season. “Based upon prior expe rience with storms of this nature (Ian), we antici pate it may take up to two full seasons, or more, for our groves to recover to pre-hurricane production levels,” Kiernan said in the report. “Alico has been able to navigate through the im pacts of Hurricane Ian and unseasonably warm and dry weather over the past sev eral months only through the investments and actions that the company has taken over the past several years,” Kiernan added. Alico blamed a decline in production to greater fruit drop caused by Ian, though it noted it received $1.6 million in gross proceeds from selling 278 acres of ranchland. In a prepared statement, Kiernan said the company had received about $13.7 million in crop-insurance money over the rst four months of 2023, with addi tional claims pending. The industry also contin ues to await federal storm assistance approved in December, though the al location process remains unclear.Growers are on pace to fill 15.65 million boxes of oranges, the lowest total since the 1934-1935 season AP File Fifth-generation farmer Roy Petteway looks at the damage to his citrus grove on Oct. 12, 2022, from the effects of Hurricane Ian in Zolfo Springs. In addition to sustain ing heavy damage from the hurricane last fall, FloridaÂ’s citrus industry has battled for two decades against deadly citrus greening disease and development pressures.McDonaldÂ’s found liable for McNugget that burned girl By SUN SENTINEL FORT LAUDERDALE — McDonaldÂ’s and a franchise holder are at fault after a hot Chicken McNugget from a Happy Meal fell on a little girlÂ’s leg and caused second-de gree burns, a jury in South Florida found in a case reminiscent of the famous hot coffee lawsuit of the 1990s. A second jury will deter mine how much McDon aldÂ’s USA and its fran chise owner, Upchurch Foods, will pay the child and her mother, the South Florida SunSentinel re ported. ThursdayÂ’s decision was split, with jurors nding the franchise holder liable for negligence and failure to warn customers about the risk of hot food, and McDonaldÂ’s USA liable for failing to provide in structions for safe han dling of the food. McDon aldÂ’s USA was not found to be negligent, and the jury dismissed the argu ment that the product was defective. “Our sympathies go out to this family for what oc curred in this unfortunate incident, as we hold cus tomer safety as one of our highest priorities,” Mc DonaldÂ’s owner-operator Brent Upchurch said in a statement. “We are deep ly disappointed with to dayÂ’s verdict because the facts show that our restau rant in Tamarac, Florida did indeed follow those protocols when cooking and serving this Happy Meal.” Jurors heard two days of testimony and arguments about the 2019 episode that left the 4-year-old girl with a burned upper thigh. Philana Holmes testi ed that she bought Hap py Meals for her son and then-4-year-old daughter at a drive-thru window at a McDonaldÂ’s in Tamarac, near Fort Lauderdale, the SunSentinel reported. She handed the food to her children, who were in the back seat. After she drove away, her daughter started screaming. The mother testied she didnÂ’t know what was wrong until she pulled over to help the girl, Olivia Caraballo, who is now 7, the news paper reported. She saw the burn on the girlÂ’s leg and took photos on her iPhone, which included audio clips of the childÂ’s screams. The sound of the girlÂ’s screams were played in court. The child, who is autistic, did not testify, the newspaper reported. Lawyers for McDonaldÂ’s noted that the food had to be hot to avoid salmonel la poisoning, and that the nuggets were not meant to be pressed between a seat belt and human esh for more than two minutes. The girlÂ’s parents sued, saying that McDonaldÂ’s and the franchise owner failed to adequately train employees, failed to warn customers about the “dan gerous” temperature of the food, and for cooking the food to a much higher temperature than neces sary. While both sides agreed the nugget caused the burns, the familyÂ’s law yers argued the tempera ture was above 200 de grees, while the defense said it was no more than 160 degrees. The case is likely to stoke memories of the McDonaldÂ’s coffee law suit of the 1990s, which became an urban legend of sorts about seemingly frivolous lawsuits, even though a jury and judge had found it anything but. A New Mexico jury awarded Stella Liebeck, 81, $2.7 million in puni tive damages after she was scalded in 1992 by hot coffee from McDonaldÂ’s that spilled onto her lap, burning her legs, groin and buttocks, as she tried to steady the cup with her legs while prying the lid off to add cream outside a drive-thru. She suffered third-de gree burns and spent more than a week in the hospi tal. She had initially asked McDonaldÂ’s for $20,000 to cover hospital expens es, but the company went to trial. A judge later re duced the $2.7 million award to $480,000, which he said was appropriate for the “willful, wanton, reckless” and “callous” behavior by McDonaldÂ’s.Hodding Carter III, State Dept. spokesman during Iran hostage crisis, dies at 88CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Hodding Carter III, a Mississippi journalist and civil rights activist who as U.S. State Department spokesman informed Americans about the Iran hostage crisis and later won awards for his televised documenta ries, has died. He was 88. His daughter, Catherine Carter Sullivan, conrmed that he died Thursday in Chapel Hill, North Caroli na, where he taught leader ship and public policy. Carter “never missed an opportunity to speak truth to power in North Carolina, in the south and around the globe,” wrote his depart ment chair, Daniel P. Gitter man. Before moving to Wash ington in 1977, Carter was editor and publisher of his familyÂ’s newspaper, the Delta Democrat-Times, in Greenville, Mississippi. Carter had been co-chair of the Loyalist Democrats, a racially diverse group that won a credentials ght at the 1968 Democratic Na tional Convention in Chica go, unseating the all-white delegation by MississippiÂ’s governor, John Bell Wil liams. CarterÂ’s campaign work in 1976 for Jimmy Carter, no relation, helped secure him a job as assistant sec retary of state for public af fairs. It was in this role that he was seen on television news during the 444 days that Iran held 52 Americans hostage. When Ronald Reagan was elected to the White House in 1980, Carter returned to journalism as president of MainStreet, a television production company spe cializing in public affairs programs that earned him four national Emmy Awards and the Edward R. Murrow Award for documentaries. Carter appeared as a pan elist, moderator or news anchor at ABC, BBC, NBC, CNN and PBS. He also wrote op-ed columns for the Wall Street Journal and other newspapers. He served twice on the steering committee of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. Carter later was named the John S. Knight Professor of Public Affairs Journalism at the University of Maryland. In 1998 he became presi dent of the John S. Knight and James L. Knight Foun dation, based in Miami, Florida. After leaving the foun dation, he began teaching leadership and public pol icy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2006. He wrote two books, “The Reagan Years” and “The South Strikes Back.” SUSAN WALSH / AP CARTER III YOUARENOT ALONE!Weofferafullspectrumoftrusted andprofessionalinhomecareservices tohelpourclientsmaintaintheir independenceinthecomfortof theirownhomes. rnrrnn nnnrnnr nÂn rnMonday-ApptOnly TuethruFri-9:30-4:30 r rn  Â r n 1657W.GULFTOLAKEHWY(2MI.E.OFHWY.491&44)•LECANTO rrrn FauxWoodBlinds, Shades,Shutters, Verticals,Cellular RichardT.Brown FuneralDirector/Owner BrownFuneralHome&Crematory Lecanto,Florida IgrayneBrownDias FuneralDirector TwoGenerationsserving youwithcompassionate, personalizedservice. 352-795-0111 www.brownfuneralhome.com r n  r  nr    nn  n € Â rrn r rnr rrrr rr

The S&P 500 dipped 6.54 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 4,124.08 to cap a sixth straight week where it moved by less than 1 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 8.89, or less than 0.1 per cent, to 33,300.62, while the Nasdaq composite lost 43.76, or 0.4 percent, to 12,284.74. Despite the seeming ly placid moves for the overall market, big swings have swirled underneath the surface amid worries about a possible reces sion, high ination and the U.S. government inching toward what could be a catastrophic default on its debt. It’s not just Wall Street that’s concerned. Senti ment among U.S. consum ers is tumbling, according to a preliminary survey by the University of Mich igan. That’s a worry be cause strong spending by consumers has been one of the main forces preventing a recession as the economy slows. Joanne Hsu, director of the Surveys of Consum ers, pointed to the looming June 1 deadline when the U.S. government could run out of cash to pay its bills unless Congress allows it to borrow more. “If policymakers fail to resolve the debt ceiling crisis, these dismal views over the economy will ex acerbate the dire economic consequences of default,” she said in a statement. President Joe Biden and congressional leaders postponed a meeting set for Friday on the debt lim it crisis to next week. The delay was billed as a sign of positive exchanges, and staff-level talks are expect ed to continue through the weekend. One area under heavy pressure this week looking to stabilize was PacWest Bancorp’s stock. It’s been under heavy scrutiny as Wall Street hunts for the next possible U.S. bank to fail following three high-prole collapses since March. PacWest fell 3 percent af ter ipping from a gain in the morning. A day earlier, it slid sharply after dis closing a ight of deposits from the prior week. Its stock lost 21 percent this past week. Banks have been bend ing under the weight of much higher interest rates, which have caused some customers to pull deposits in search of higher yields while also dragging down prices for the investments that the banks hold. Rates are so high be cause the Federal Reserve has been hiking them at a furious pace in order to drive down ination. Re ports this week suggested ination is continuing to moderate from its peak last year, though it remains way too high for the com fort of households and reg ulators. The hope on Wall Street is that easing ination may convince the Fed to hold off on raising rates again at its next meeting in June. That would offer some breathing room to both the economy, which has slowed under the weight of higher rates, and to nan cial markets, where prices began falling long ago. One potential wild card arrived in Friday’s report on consumer sentiment. It suggested U.S. households are girding for 3.2 percent ination over the long run. That’s higher than last month’s reading of 3 per cent and the highest level since 2011. One worry at the Fed is that if expectations for high ination become en trenched, it could change behaviors by shoppers and others across the economy that only worsens ination. Treasury yields rose in the bond market following the consumer-sentiment report. The yield on the 10-year Treasury erased an earlier dip and climbed to 3.47 percent from 3.39 per cent late Thursday. It helps set rates for mortgages and other important loans. The two-year yield, which moves more on ex pectations for the Fed, rose to 3.99 percent from 3.90 percent. News Corp. rose 8.5 percent after it reported a milder drop in prot and revenue for the latest quar ter than analysts expected. That’s been the trend this earnings reporting season. Reports have been better than feared but still weaker than a year earlier. Com panies in the S&P 500 are on track to report a second straight quarter of drops in earnings per share, something that’s called an “earnings recession.” First Solar soared 26.5 percent after announcing it’s purchasing Evolar AB, a European company, to accelerate its development of high efciency tandem devices and other technol ogies. On the losing end of Wall Street was Gen Digital, which fell 5.5 percent de spite reporting stronger prot and revenue for the latest quarter than expect ed. Several Big Tech stocks were also weak. They and other high-growth stocks are seen as some of the hardest hit by high interest rates. Amazon fell 1.7 per cent and was the heaviest weight on the S&P 500.

Citrus County Chronicle Saturday, May 13, 2023 A7Regarding iPads in schoolRegarding the iPads for school, why are we providing iP-ads? Why canÂ’t teachers teach, and students learn and take tests on paper like I did 60 years ago? Why are we providing this cra-ziness? $7 million dollars for iPads? Give me a break.Got one thing rightIn response to the person claiming Trump was the greatest president ever. Trump ran on being able to get the national debt under control. Instead, it increased by 33 percent, increased $7.8 trillion. He did that by starting his tenure in ofce by giving tax breaks to the richest people in the country. Hopefully youÂ’re one of them. Also, if you could watch the tapes from the Jan. 6 insurrection and say Trump didnÂ’t cause it, you should seek good psychiatric care. You did get one thing right, though, I truly hate Trump for what he has done to this country.Concerning Jesse RumsonItÂ’s super-duper Citrus County that our very own insurrectionist Jesse Rum-son has fans. LetÂ’s not for-get, he is not a victim, nor would a peaceful person lay his hands on a police ofcer. The complaint against him states, “Around 4:20 p.m., Rumson ap-proached a line of police ofcers that formed on the upper west terrace and grabbed the ofcerÂ’s face shield, forcing his head and neck back and upwards.” This is not a victim.In for a surpriseCitrus County may be in for a big surprise on proof of ownership of the Chassahowitzka boat ramp. Just check the internet. Tampa Bay Times article, “Citrus to run river camp,” Jan. 24, 1991. The manage-ment of the campground is now in the hands of the Citrus County Parks and Recreation Division, under an agreement with the landowner Southwest Florida Water Management District, commonly called SWIFTMUD, the county will manage their recre-ational facility for at least 20 years.Why no cell service?I was calling in to see why the cell phone cover age in downtown Inver ness is so poor. We were at the hospital over on the main street and you canÂ’t get a signal, you canÂ’t get any data. In this day of technology, you can be out in the middle of nowhere and the cell phone works but in downtown Inver ness, thereÂ’s no signal. Any idea why? Are we going to x that?Creating every roadblock they canI wanted to thank the Chronicle for the editorial on Thursday about what the state legislature and the governor have been doing to make it harder for people to vote. TheyÂ’ve made it near impossible for return-ing citizens to know for sure if theyÂ’re allowed to vote, but theyÂ’ve got their special police force ready to arrest them. They should have a system in the state to let these people know for sure if they can vote. And furthermore, targeting voter registration groups or simply volunteers trying to help out community members is just downright awful. I donÂ’t know what these legislators are up to, but it seems to me that they have thought up every roadblock and then some to keep people in Florida from voting.Ozello campground is a good ideaI went out to Ozello for lunch at PeckÂ’s and I see a few signs that say “no rezoning” for the camp-ground. I think the camp-ground is a great idea. I donÂ’t think the people down here really under-stand how good itÂ’ll be for our community. I would urge the County Commis-sion to pass something.

A8 Saturday, May 13, 2023 Citrus County Chronicle F lorida lawmakers have agreed to pony up $25 million for law enforcement agencies to replace aerial drones. On its face, the idea doesn’t sound so bad – helping the people sworn to protect us buy needed and import-ant equipment. If only it were that simple. What the Legislature is really doing is doubling down on an already dubious idea. Police, reghters and mosquito control districts across Florida and around Tampa Bay use drones. They are cheaper and faster than launching a helicop-ter. They also help track suspects and nd missing people. The problem – if we can even call it that – is where many of the best drones are made: China. Gov. Ron DeSantis doesn’t like that. He has no evi-dence that China is some-how using the drones in a nefarious way. Nor has any-one else made a convincing argument about the threat posed by Chinese-made drones. A 2021 U.S. mili-tary study found no security risks from popular drones made by Chinese manufac-turer Da Jiang Innovations, or DJI. In fact, the same study recommended them for government use (before the Pentagon stepped in and said the report was “inac-curate and uncoordinated.”) Still, DeSantis says no way. Not in this state. He wants all of the Chinese-made drones grounded. It doesn’t matter that the drones cannot connect to the internet and use soft-ware that can prohibit them from ying around airports and other critical places. It doesn’t matter that police have consistently said that DJI drones are better and less expensive than the American-made alterna-tives. It doesn’t matter that many of the watches, phones and body cameras used by police ofcers and reghters are made in China. Unfortunately, it gets worse. Police and local governments have spent at least $200 million on Chi-nese-made drones. It would be unnecessarily wasteful not to keep using them. New Smyrna Beach law-maker Tom Wright, one of the few Republicans in Tal-lahassee to publicly ques-tion the decision to ground the Chinese drones, said it will cost twice as much to replace them because Amer ican makers have increased prices in recent months. So that $25 million set aside to buy new drones won’t help much. It’s wasting good money to paper over a terri-ble decision that addressed a nonexistent problem. It makes sense for the U.S. military to avoid Chinese drones, but local law enforcement don’t use them for military or top-secret purposes. We’d support grounding the Chi-nese-made drones deployed by local law enforcement if there was evidence China was using them to spy on America or undermine police activities. But no one has made the case. The governor hasn’t even hinted that such evidence exists. Police say the DJI drones are more capable than American-made al ternatives. Why would the governor and so many of our state lawmakers want to saddle our law enforcement ofcers with less capable drones? That’s like forbid-ding them from using high-er-quality body armor. Grounding the drones might have made for good politics in some circles, but it’s bad policy, the kind of ill-informed posturing that makes it hard for rst responders to do their jobs. Spending another $25 million only compounds the folly. At minimum, the governor should reverse the decision and allow the use of the Chinese-made drones until the end of their expect ed lifespan. Otherwise, he is wasting taxpayer money and putting law enforce-ment ofcers in needless peril. — Tampa Bay Times T oday, animal rights activists are supporting the release of sea creatures from aquari-ums into the wild in honor of “Empty the Tanks Day.” While I sympathize with the desire to reenact “Free Willy,” as a former whale and dolphin trainer, I know rsthand that releasing them from their current habitats doesn’t usually have a Hollywood ending. While we often imagine an up-lifting image of a whale or dolphin swimming off into the sunset and freedom, the truth is much uglier. Marine mammals that have lived long periods, or their entire lives, in professional zoological care are simply not suited to thrive in the wild. Skills that wild animals learn from in-fancy simply don’t exist for ones from aquariums and zoos. They have never had to hunt, navigate the ocean, or evade predators before. Animals’ lives under human care are comfortable, even pam-pered, and very different from life in the wild. If returned to the wild, their lives may come to an untimely end. Take the story of Keiko, the whale-actor from the movie “Free Willy.” It’s a sad tale and one that’s long been personal to me – I worked on the Keiko Release Project and witnessed this tragedy rsthand. Keiko was the subject of a push from animal rights activists to reintroduce him to the wild. They got their wish, and he was moved to the North Atlantic in 1998. Keiko died ve years into the project, but he was never released. He was never without the human support he learned to depend upon. He was never able to join a wild orca pod, and he failed to feed himself. At each opportunity throughout the experiment, Keiko sought human companionship. He even visited a small town in the Norwegian fjords and interacted with the people there. Keiko did not die an easy death in the wild; he suf-fered greatly over a long period, likely never understanding why he was being deprived of the only life he had known. He was only 26 at his death, while wild orcas typically live to around 35. In human care, he might have lived much longer. While emptying the tanks seems like it’s pro-animal, it would just be condemning countless other marine animals to Keiko’s fate. The organizers of “Empty the Tanks Day” suggest using sea pens – enclosures in the open water – for animals that shouldn’t be fully released into the wild. This sounds like a nice compromise, but it has a whole host of its own problems. For many species, sea pens are less safe than aquariums. Sea pens provide no protection from the countless pollutants that show up in our oceans, causing several health problems, which are all more difcult to treat than they would be at an aquarium. After a life spent in a contam-inant-free habitat, few of these animals have the immune system to ght off this risk of infection. Just as important, sea pens do nothing to x the critical issue that animals raised in zoological care are accustomed to human interaction and can become stressed and depressed without it. Even if sea pens were an effective solution, current sea pen capacity is woefully inadequate for anything approaching “emp-tying the tanks.” Today, the only operational sanctuary equipped with sea pens suitable for large marine mammals is located in Iceland, which is too cold for many of the potential residents and too isolated for easy reloca-tion. In addition, the facility may even carry the risk of orcas and dolphins ingesting debris from the pen’s oor to deadly effect. Other comparable facilities in the past have experienced this issue, leading to health issues for the marine life kept there. The fact of the matter is that our aquatic friends in human care are safer, healthier, and happier than they would oth-erwise be in the wild. They’ve spent their whole lives, or much of them, depending on and in the company of humans, and taking them away from that would be dangerous and cruel. The con-cept is not unlike abandoning a pet cat or dog in the wild to fend for itself. Let’s keep our whales and dolphins happy and healthy, not condemn them to a lonely death. It’s too late for Keiko, but we can learn from his end and not repeat the same mistake. Maybe a better use of our time would be cleaning up wild habitats where animals increasingly struggle for survival against human impacts. Mark Simmons is a fellow of the Center for the Environment and Welfare and the author of “Killing Keiko: The True Story of Free Willy’s Return to the Wild.” He wrote this for InsideSources.com. O Why are we willing to sacrifice people? There have been at least 160 mass shootings across the USA so far this year. Let that sink in.That’s two mass shootings every three days. There have also been at least 93 school shootings where babies and teachers were slaugh tered. I say “at least” because by the time this is published, assum ing the Chronicle will publish this, odds are there will be more shootings. Can you wrap your head around those numbers? If so, then I must question your humanity. And I am compelled to ask, are you inclined to sacrifice your children for your Second Amendment rights? Now I realize there’s a lot of eye-rolling and “here we go again, another bleeding heart liberal crying about my guns.” After you’re done rolling those eyes, answer my question. Will you sacrifice your children? No? Then why the hell are you ready to sacrifice someone else’s? I ask our lawmakers the same. Will it take a private school shooting in Tallahassee or Washington, D.C., where their children go to school to get their attention? Will it take their child’s blood on the floor to open their eyes? Shooting up a public school seems to be just another ho-hum moment to the NRA and our lawmakers. And it’s our fault.We The People have allowed the NRA lobbyists to buy and barter our legislators. And those legislators gladly accept the hun dreds of millions of dollars, then kneel in front of the dollar sign and say “thank you, may I have another.” That is both sides of the aisle, but much more predominantly the GOP. I have a grandson in IPS. I can not fathom being told that I must allow his life to be taken so some people can walk around with a weapon that was designed and developed for our military for one purpose. Not self-de fense. But only to kill people. Our “Dear Leader” DeSantis believes it’s a God-given right. The Bible was written over 2000 years ago. The 2nd Amendment was adopted in 1791. The bullet as we know it was invented in 1847. Self-imposed ignorance is timeless. Since when does a “well regu lated militia” shoot up a school or church?

Citrus County Chronicle Saturday, May 13, 2023 A9N & W CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLEBiden commends Spanish PM for collaboration on migration By COLLEEN LONG and AAMER MADHANI Associated Press WASHINGTON — Presi dent Joe Biden commended Spanish Prime Minister Pe dro Sánchez for his coun try’s collaboration with the United States and Canada to establish migration hubs in Latin America where asy lum seekers eeing poverty and violence in their home countries can apply for pro tection. The two leaders sat down at the White House on Fri day for wide-ranging talks on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, climate change and other issues. But efforts by the U.S. and Spain to cooperate on asylum pro cessing loomed large over the discussion as the Biden administration rolls out new immigration measures now that COVID-19 immigra tion restrictions have ended. The new efforts are de signed to crack down on il legal border crossings while opening legal pathways to give migrants incentives to apply for asylum online where they are, instead of making the dangerous jour ney to the border. Migrants caught illegally crossing the southern U.S. border cannot return for ve years, and they face crimi nal prosecution if they do. And migrants will be barred from seeking asylum at the border if they do not rst ask for protection in a coun try they traveled through or apply online. A major piece of the ex panded legal pathway is the creation of processing cen ters in Colombia and Gua temala and up to 100 others in the Western Hemisphere where migrants can go to apply to enter the U.S., Spain or Canada. “We’re both facing the challenges of migration in the Western Hemisphere,” Biden told Sanchez at the start of the Oval Ofce meeting. It was a huge step for the White House to get Spain and Canada to agree to take in asylum seekers from Lat in America. And it helps reinforce the Biden admin istration’s argument that the current migration quandary facing the Americas is a global problem that needs a global solution – much like the refugee crises that have impacted Syria, Afghani stan and Ukraine in recent years. The State Department on Thursday announced a web site where asylum seekers can now nd information on the process and will eventu ally be able to request ap pointments. The U.S. has increasingly seen migrants arrive at its southern border who are from China, Ukraine, Hai ti, Russia and other nations far from Latin America and who are increasingly family groups and children travel ing alone. Thirty years ago, by contrast, illegal cross ings were almost always single adults from Mexico who were easily returned over the border. Spain, though it has high overall unemployment, needs workers for agricul ture and other hard-to-ll elds, and it will be able to accept migrants who want to go there and have needed skills. The Spanish ministry has said the pathway will only apply to those who have already received interna tional protection status. That means the migrants it accepts will need to be considered refugees and will be treated in much the same way that Syrian asy lum seekers, traveling via Turkey, have been treated by Spain. “Spain and the U.S., we have common interests about democracy, prosperi ty and safe, regular and or derly migration patterns,” Sanchez said. Plans for the processing centers to be established in Guatemala and Colombia were announced last month, but the centers have yet to begin operating. Once up and running, they are ex pected to process thousands of applicants a month. Unit ed Nations organizations will operate the centers, but U.S. ofcials will be present as well to help with process ing of applications.

The prosecutor and his boss said he was merely abiding by grand jury rules. Rep. Darrell Issa, a Cal ifornia Republican, exited the meeting after roughly one hour and said Mark Pomerantz, the former pros ecutor, repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment that protects people from pro viding self-incriminating testimony. Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying busi ness records in a scheme to bury allegations of ex tramarital affairs that arose during his 2016 White House campaign. GOP law makers have decried the investigation as a “political persecution” and launched an oversight probe. Pomerantz in a written opening statement called the committee’s inquiry itself “an act of political theater.” He also explained he was invoking the Fifth Amendment because the Manhattan District Attor ney’s ofce had previous ly warned him before he published a book on the investigation that he could face criminal liability if he revealed grand jury materi al or violated a provision of the New York City Charter dealing with misuse of con dential information. Pomerantz, who left Manhattan District Attor ney Alvin Bragg’s ofce after disagreements over the direction of the Trump investigation, was sub poenaed by the Republi can-controlled House com mittee. The panel, chaired by GOP Rep. Jim Jordan, is probing how Bragg han dled Trump’s historic in dictment. “This deposition is for show,” Pomerantz also said in prepared remarks. “I do not believe for a moment that I am here to assist a genuine effort to enact leg islation or conduct legisla tive ‘oversight.’” Bragg had sued to halt Jor dan’s subpoena of Pomer antz, but last month agreed to Pomerantz’s testimony after a delay and a condition that lawyers from the pros ecutor’s ofce be present. The committee has said it would have allowed the dis trict attorney’s lawyers even without the agreement. Pomerantz had argued in court papers that the subpoena left him in an “impossible position” and would potentially require him to violate his ethical obligations. Issa, the GOP lawmaker, told reporters, “This is an obstructing witness who has no intention of answering any questions.”Youth lawsuit challenging state of Montana’s pro-fossil fuel policies will be heading to trial By AMY BETH HANSON, MATTHEW BROWN and DREW COSTLEY Associated Press HELENA, Mont. — A Montana judge on Friday said a climate change lawsuit from young people challeng ing the state’s pro-fossil fuel policies will proceed to trial despite efforts by the state to derail the case. The upcoming trial in Hel ena would be the rst of its kind in the United States, according to experts in cli mate law who said the na tion is lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of climate litigation. However, because of prior rulings that limited the scope of the Montana case, a victo ry for the plaintiffs would not automatically alter the state’s regulation of fossil fuels. Attorneys for the 16 young plaintiffs, ranging in age from 5 to 22, alleged state ofcials were trying to avoid the upcoming trial when Republican lawmak ers in March repealed the state’s energy policy – one of two laws that the case challenges. The plaintiffs and their backers are hop ing to use the two-week tri al that’s set to start on June 12 to highlight the dangers of fossil fuel emissions that scientists say are making climate change worse. Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, a Republi can, had asked state Judge Kathy Seeley to dismiss any part of the case touching on the cancelled energy policy. Attorneys for the state also wanted more time to offer legal arguments over recent amendments to a law that allows ofcials to ignore greenhouse gas emissions when approving fossil-fuel projects. The judge was not swayed.“I would suggest you continue to prepare for tri al,” Seeley told attorneys at the end of a Friday court hearing. “I’m not intending to just stop everything so that we can spend months wrapped around that spoke.” The case was brought in 2020 by attorneys for the environmental group Our Children’s Trust, which since 2010 has led climate lawsuits in every state on behalf of youth plaintiffs. Many cases – including a previous one in Montana – have been dismissed. The latest Montana law suit originally sought in part to repeal a state policy promoting coal, gas and oil development. Scientists say burning those fuels is large ly driving climate change by releasing planet-warm ing carbon dioxide. An attorney for the plain tiffs, Philip Gregory, told The Associated Press the policy was repealed by the Legislature “not because the state has committed to changing its fossil fuel pol icy and actions, but because the state seeks to avoid standing trial.” He said the state’s contin ued support for fossil fu els violates environmental protections in the Montana Constitution, which says the state “shall maintain and improve a clean and health ful environment in Montana for present and all future generations.” The lawsuit documents how the consequences of climate change already are being felt by the young plaintiffs, with smoke from worsening wildres chok ing the air they breathe and drought drying rivers that sustain agriculture, sh, wildlife and recreation. IN BRIEF Marine veteran who fatally choked subway rider surrenders NEW YORK (AP) — A U.S. Marine veteran who used a fatal chokehold on an agitated New York City subway passenger was freed from custody Friday hours after sur rendering to face a man slaughter charge led nearly two weeks after the encounter. Daniel Penny, 24, ap peared in court after turn ing himself in at a police station to answer criminal charges in the May 1 death of Jordan Neely. He did not enter a plea. Neely’s death sparked protests, while others embraced Penny as a vigilante hero. A judge authorized Pen ny’s release on bond and ordered him to surrender his passport and not to leave New York without approval. Prosecutors said they are seeking a grand jury indictment. Penny is due back in court on July 17. Penny didn’t speak to re porters as he arrived at a Manhattan police station with his lawyers Friday morning, nor did he re spond to questions shouted by reporters as he was led from the police precinct house in handcuffs several hours later. Inside the courtroom, Penny faced straight ahead, his hands still cuffed. He spoke softly, offering one-word answers to Judge Kevin McGrath as his law yer, Steve Raiser, placed an arm around his shoulder. Penny’s lawyers have said he was acting in self-defense when he pinned Neely to the oor of the subway car with the help of two other pas sengers and held him in a chokehold for several min utes. A freelance journalist who recorded Neely strug gling to free himself, then lapsing into unconscious ness, said he had been shouting at passengers and begging for money aboard the train but had not got ten physical with anyone. Penny’s lawyers have said he was “threatening” pas sengers but haven’t elabo rated.Pilots at United Airlines picket for higher pay DALLAS (AP) — Just ahead of what could be a record-breaking summer travel season, pilots from one of the nation’s biggest airlines marched in picket lines at major airports on Friday as they push for higher pay. The United Airlines pilots have been working without a raise for more than four years while negotiating with airline management over a new contract. The pilots are unlikely to strike anytime soon, how ever. Federal law makes it very difcult for unions to conduct strikes in the air line industry, and the last walkout at a U.S. carrier was more than a decade ago. The coast-to-coast pro tests by United pilots come on the heels of overwhelm ing strike-authorization votes by pilots at American Airlines and Southwest Airlines. United pilots could be the next to vote, according to union of cials. Pilots at all three carriers are looking to match or beat the deal that Delta Air Lines reached with its pi lots earlier this year, which raised pay rates by 34 per cent over four years. United has proposed to match the Delta increase, but that might not be enough for a deal. “We still have a long ways to go to resolve some of the issues at the table,” said Garth Thomp son, chair of the United wing of the Air Line Pilots Association. Thompson said discus sion about wages has been held up while the two sides negotiate over scheduling, including the union’s wish to limit United’s ability to make pilots work on their days off. United spokesman Josh ua Freed said, “We’re con tinuing to work with the Air Line Pilots Association on the industry-leading deal we have put on the table for our world-class pilots.” Idaho jury convicts woman in murders of 2 children, romantic rival BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho mother Lori Vallow Daybell was convicted Fri day in the murders of her two youngest children and a romantic rival, a verdict that culminates a three-year investigation that in cluded bizarre claims that her son and daughter were zombies and she was a goddess sent to usher in the Biblical apocalypse. Vallow Daybell showed no expression as the ver dict was read. Some in the courtroom gallery wiped tears from their eyes. Prosecutors in the case described Vallow Daybell as a power-hungry manip ulator who would kill her two youngest children for money, while the defense team said she was a nor mally protective mother who fell under the roman tic sway of a wannabe cult leader. Jurors heard both stories Thursday during nal ar guments in the seven-week long trial, and deliberated for about four hours before breaking for the evening. They resumed delibera tions Friday morning and reached a verdict, which was announced shortly af ter noon. Vallow Daybell was convicted of conspiring to commit the murders of 7-year-old Joshua “JJ” Vallow, 16-year-old Tylee Ryan, and Tammy Day bell. She was also convict ed of grand theft as well as rst-degree murder of the two children, a charge that indicates a more direct role in the crimes. Vallow Daybell’s fth husband, Chad Daybell, faces the same charges, but his trial is still months away.Tennessee company refuses U.S. request to recall 67M air bag inflators DETROIT (AP) — A Tennessee company could be heading for a legal bat tle with U.S. auto safety regulators after refusing a request that millions of po tentially dangerous air bag inators be recalled. The National Highway Trafc Safety Adminis tration is demanding that ARC Automotive Inc. of Knoxville recall 67 mil lion inators in the U.S. because they could ex plode and hurl shrapnel. At least two people have been killed in the U.S. and Canada, and seven others have been hurt as a result of defective ARC inators, the agency said. The recall would cover a large portion of the 284 million vehicles now on U.S. roads, but the per centage is difcult to de termine. Some have ARC inators for both the driver and front passenger. In a letter posted Friday, the agency told ARC that it has tentatively concluded after an eight-year investi gation that ARC front driv er and passenger inators have a safety defect. But ARC responded that it no defect exists in the inators, and that any problems are related to isolated manufacturing issues.

Their next monthly breakfast will be Sept. 17. The one about moms trusting GodI Â’ve told this story before, about my fervent prayer in 1982: “Lord, I want to know that I can trust you, REALLY trust you.” I actually wrote that prayer down on paper so I couldnÂ’t forget it or deny pray ing it. A month or so later I learned I was pregnant, and I was overjoyed because I thought this was the answer to my “trust you, Lord” prayer. It was, but that was only part one. Part two came a week or so later when my husband was laid off from his job, and at that time, jobs were scarce. I freaked out. I told God I was taking my prayer back, that I didnÂ’t want to trust him that way. I had expected him to sprinkle trust dust on me so I would have an ever lasting sense of calm no matter what was going on in my life. Fast-forward a year: De spite a continuous, fervent search for a job, my hus band stayed unemployed for the entire year. And yet, our bills got paid, every single one of them. We look back on that time with awe as the worst, best time. I reluctantly trusted God, but he showed himself trustworthy and faithful. IÂ’m writing this today because IÂ’ve been talking with a mom and her daughter who are going through a time of trusting God during a dire time in their lives. Recently, I wrote about them in the Chronicle. They live in a mobile home thatÂ’s nearly 60 years old and is structural ly unt to live in including, among other things, being infested with black mold, which they thought they had gotten rid of. The mom is 80 and the daughter is 48 and suffers from a number of debilitat ing illnesses and is hooked up to a feeding tube for 18-20 hours a day. The doctor told the daughter she needs to nd a new place to live ASAP, but they live on a xed income and canÂ’t afford anything else. ItÂ’s a heartbreaking situation, and yet they are trusting God. On the one hand theyÂ’ll say, “We donÂ’t know what to do – we need help.” And in the next breath theyÂ’ll say, “We know God knows. We know he cares and he hears our prayers. We know God is going to do something and get us through this.” Sometimes IÂ’ll write about a family with a seemingly impossible, dire situation, and it will spark something in the commu nity and everyone rallies and comes to the rescue, and itÂ’s always awe-inspir ing. And then sometimes nothing happens. But thatÂ’s never true with people who belong to Jesus. God is always doing something in his peopleÂ’s lives, but we canÂ’t always see it at the time. We can, however, in the future look back and not have enough ngers and toes to count all the ways God showed up and got us through even the most impossible situations. God is always doing something in every situa tion, but maybe when we think heÂ’s not itÂ’s simply that heÂ’s just not done doing it. The other day I saw a message on Facebook: “God said, ‘Be still and know (that I am God).Â’ He did not say, ‘Freak out and question.’” I confess IÂ’d been ques tioning God about this mom and daughter, asking him where his help for them is and why isnÂ’t he doing something NOW for them. The day I interviewed the mom and daughter, they sat together, holding hands, wiping away their tears, telling me that this has brought them closer together and for that they are grateful. They sat, being still, knowing God, feeling blessed even when every thing looks bleak, believ ing God will come to their rescue when the time is right. I pray he does.NOTE: Read more of the story I wrote at https://tinyurl.com/3faakd8y. If God tugs on your heart to help, thereÂ’s a GoFundMe account at https://tinyurl.com/7x7faz35.

THE CONVERSATIONFrom Kali to Mary to Neopagan goddesses By ALYSA BEALL West Virginia University (The Conversation)A s we approach Moth-erÂ’s Day, many groups will hold special events or services to celebrate the holiday. In the United States, MotherÂ’s Day was originally founded in 1908 at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in West Virginia and became a na-tionally recognized holiday in 1914. The mid-May date spread around the world, though many countries still maintain their own dates and traditions. Religions around the world use these days to honor the importance of many kinds of nurturing, from traditional celebra-tions to events that honor modern parenting, infertil-ity struggles or the pain of losing a child Motherhood and nurturing are not celebrated only on particular days, however. Many religions include goddess-centered traditions that embrace many forms of the divine feminine as central to their belief systems. As a religious studies professor who travels with students around the world to explore different cul-tures and practices, I have often noticed the interest students have in the variety of goddess traditions we encounter.Asian traditionsGuan Yin, who goes by many variations of her name, is revered as the goddess of compassion and mercy in several different Eastern traditions. Begin-ning – interestingly enough – as a male bodhisattva called Avalokiteshvara, the goddess gure was adapted in many different cultures around the world. Called Kannon in Japan and Quan Am in Vietnam, she is frequently a focal point of temple worship and is also considered the guardian of sailors and a goddess of fertility. One of the most wellknown goddesses in Hindu-ism, meanwhile, is perhaps the least understood from an outside perspective. Kali is often seen as a terrifying gure, depicted using mul-tiple weapons and dressed in clothing of severed heads and arms. Yet Kali is also an important mother gure who channels her ferocity into the care and defense of all creation. As a manifesta-tion of the primal force of Shakti, Kali is essentially all aspects of motherhood wrapped up into one, often simultaneously caring, loving and erce.The triple goddessIn Neopaganism, an umbrella term for a diverse group of new religious movements most popular in the United States, Austra-lia and Europe, goddess gures also often play a primary role. Neopagan-ismÂ’s various branches include Wicca and Hel-lenic reconstructionism, a religion that focuses on the gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece. Of primary importance for many Neopagans is the triple goddess, a gure who encompasses the three aspects of maiden, moth-er and crone. Sometimes these goddess gures are based on specic ancient deities, such as Persephone, Demeter and Hekate, and sometimes they are wor-shipped more generally as representations of various phases of life. More recently, many of these traditions are inten-tionally expanding to reject ideas of gender essential-ism and embrace a range of identities. For some Neopagans, exploring what femininity and masculinity signify in todayÂ’s society is an important extension of religious belief and a way to include people who have felt rejected from other religious communities.Beyond the goddessMany other religions revere mother gures, even if they are not worshipped or considered goddesses. Khadija, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad and the rst convert to Islam, is given the title “the Mother of Believers,” signifying her importance for the de-velopment of the religion. Devotion to Mary, mother of Jesus, has been common throughout the history of Christianity and remains popular today. In Judaism, the idea of “Shekinah” has been inuential in some feminist thought. Rather than representing a single woman or female gure, Shekinah is seen as the feminine aspect of the divine, a manifestation of GodÂ’s wisdom on Earth. Nurturing and compassion are key concepts in a va-riety of religions, whether they are represented as specic goddess gures, ar-chetypes of the feminine or new religious developments that embrace shifting ideas about gender.

S CITRUS COUNTY CHRONICLE Section B SATURDAY, MAY 13 , 2023 By JERRY BEACH Associated Press NEW YORK — Anthony Rizzo homered twice on his bobblehead giveaway night, the second a go-ahead, two-run drive in the eighth inning that lifted the New York Yankees over the Tam pa Bay Rays 6-5 on Friday. Rizzo, whose bobblehead likeness was adorned in Mandalorian garb on Star Wars Night, hit a solo ho mer in the rst against Trev or Kelly. After Josh Lowe’s threerun homer off Michael King in the eighth put the major league-leading Rays ahead 5-4, Aaron Judge walked against Jason Adam (0-1) in the bottom half and Riz zo homered to right. Rizzo doffed his helmet during a curtain call following his 22nd multihomer perfor mance. Wandy Peralta earned his rst save this season by striking out two in a one-hit ninth. With two outs and one on, Rays manager Kevin Cash sent right-hand ed-hitting Manuel Margot to pinch hit for the left-hand ed-hitting Lowe, who had eight RBIs in the rst two games of the series. Margot grounded out. Randy Arozarena hom ered in the rst and Jose Siri in the second, both off Ger rit Cole. Yankees rookie Anthony Volpe, in a 7-for-53 slide, was dropped to seventh in the order after 23 consec utive starts leading off. He tied the score 2-2 with a fth-inning homer and put the Yankees ahead with a seventh-inning RBI sin gle. Oswaldo Cabrera’s run-scoring single extended the lead to 4-2. Clay Holmes (1-2) strand ed a pair of runners in the eighth, striking out Wander Franco and retiring Aroza rena on a comebacker. A day after leaving in the fth inning because of a neck spasm, Franco went 0 for 5. Last-place New York won for the third time in ve games against the Rays this season, closing within eight games of the AL East SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE What was once a staple for youth sports every summer for years is returning after a several year hiatus.

BassittÂ’s shutout leads Blue Jays past Braves, 3-0 Christopher Katsarov / The Canadian Press via AP Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt throws against the Atlanta Braves during FridayÂ’s game in Toronto. Bassitt (5-2) threw a complete game shutout. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS TORONTO — Chris Bassitt pitched a two-hitter, Daulton Var sho homered and Toronto beat At lanta. Bassitt (5-2) struck out eight and walked two in the Blue JaysÂ’ rst individual shutout since Mark Buehrle accomplished the feat against Washington in 2015. Bas sitt threw 70 of his 103 pitches for strikes to win his fourth straight de cision. The shutout was TorontoÂ’s sixth this season. Atlanta lost a series-opening road game for the rst time this season after winning six straight to start the year. The Braves came in with a majors-best 15-3 road record. Spencer Strider (4-1) lost for the rst time in eight starts this season, allowing two runs and ve hits in 6 2 / 3 innings. Strider struck out 12, boosting his MLB-leading total to 79. “I just executed a lot better than most nights,” said Bassitt, whose two shutouts are his only complete games in 131 career starts. “We had a really good game plan going in and I pretty much executed it.” BassittÂ’s other shutout came with Oakland on May 27, 2021, when he blanked the Los Angeles Angels. Cardinals 8, Red Sox 6 BOSTON – Nolan Gorman hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Kenley Jansen in the ninth inning and St. Louis beat Boston. Lars NootbaarÂ’s single off Jansen (1-1) tied the game before Gorman belted his homer to right. The veteran closer did not record an out. The Cardinals won their second straight series opener after losing their first 11. Nolan Arenado had a two-run homer during his four-hit night and Willson Contreras added a solo shot for St. Louis. Ryan Helsley (1-2) worked two scoreless innings as Boston lost for just the third time in 12 games. James Paxton struck out nine over five innings in his first major league appearance in two years for the Red Sox. Enmanuel Val dez and Connor Wong homered on consecu tive pitches off Cardinals starter Adam Wain wright. Mets 3, Nationals 2 WASHINGTON – Francisco Lindor hit a three-run single in the sixth inning to lift struggling New York over last-place Wash ington. New York had lost four of five and 13 of 17 to fall to fourth place in the NL East before rallying against the NationalsÂ’ bull pen. Carl Edwards Jr. (1-2) entered with run ners on second and third and two out in the sixth. Brandon Nimmo walked, setting up LindorÂ’s single to right-center. With all three runners going on a full-count pitch, Nimmo scored from first as the Nationals made a slow relay. Tylor Megill (4-2) allowed four hits and four walks in five innings, but limited the damage to two runs (one earned). Drew Smith earned his first save in 126 major league appearances. He inherited two runners from closer David Robertson, who threw 40 pitches in 1 2 / 3 innings, and struck out Lane Thomas to end it. Angels 5, Cleveland 4 CLEVELAND – Brandon DruryÂ’s sacrifice fly capped a two-run rally in the ninth inning and Los Angeles snapped a 10-game losing streak at Cleveland. DruryÂ’s shot to center off Emmanuel Clase (1-3) enabled the Angels to get their first win at Cleveland since Aug. 3, 2018. They had been 1-21 on the road against the Guardians since 2015. Cleveland loaded the bases in the ninth off Carlos Estévez, who struck out Will Bren nan for his ninth save. Matt Moore (2-1) pitched two innings for the Angels. Josh Naylor put the Guardians ahead 4-3 with a 442-foot homer in the eighth. Reds 7, Marlins 4 MIAMI – Jake Fraley homered twice, including a tiebreaking three-run shot in the ninth inning that sent Cincinnati past Miami. Eury Pérez, the MarlinsÂ’ 20-year-old top prospect, struck out seven over 4 2 / 3 innings in his major league debut. He gave up Fra leyÂ’s two-run homer in the fifth. The Reds erased a 4-2 deficit on Spencer SteerÂ’s two-run double in the seventh. Stuart Fairchild hit a leadoff single against reliever Dylan Floro (2-2) in the ninth and advanced two bases on José BarreroÂ’s single to right field. Floro struck out Jona than India before Fraley homered to right. Ian Gibaut (2-0) threw 1 1 / 3 innings of scoreless relief and Alexis DÃaz closed with a perfect ninth for his eighth save. Mariners 9, Tigers 2 DETROIT – Julio RodrÃguez had three hits, including a homer, and drove in four runs as Seattle beat Detroit. Marco Gonzales (3-0) gave up two runs on five hits and two walks in six innings. “I thought I had a steady mix of all four pitches tonight. We just didnÂ’t really need the cutter with all of their righties in the line up,” Gonzales said. “They really werenÂ’t able to sit on one pitch, which is always what you want.” Detroit starter Matthew Boyd (2-3) allowed six runs – five earned – on five hits and four walks in 1 1 / 3 innings. “Julio got off to a pretty slow start last year, and this is right about when he picked it up and became Julio RodrÃguez,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said. “Hopefully, this is the start of the same kind of run.” Orioles 6, Pirates 3 BALTIMORE – Cedric Mullins hit for the cycle for Baltimore, and his three-run homer in the eighth inning helped the Orioles to a 6-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. Mullins hit a single in the third, a triple in the fifth and a double in the seventh before completing the cycle with a drive to right in his final plate appearance. He became the seventh Oriole to accomplish the feat and first since Austin Hays on June 22, 2022 against Washington. The Pirates have lost 10 of 11 since start ing the season 20-8. Up 2-1 in the seventh, Jose Hernandez (0-1) allowed consecutive doubles by Mullins and Adley Rutschman to tie it. Ryan Mountcastle put the Orioles ahead with a two-out single. MullinsÂ’ two-out homer in the eighth made it 6-2. Bryan Baker (3-0) pitched 1 1 / 3 perfect innings of relief. After Austin Voth allowed all three batters he faced to reach in the ninth, Félix Bautista came on and struck out three straight hitters for his ninth save in 12 chances.

Lowry knocked the ball away for a steal, But ler made two free throws with 14.4 seconds left and the countdown back to the NBA’s nal four was on. Miami was whistled for four fouls in the rst 2:15 of the fourth quarter, set ting the tone for New York to keep getting to the line throughout the nal period. The Knicks tied it early in the third, but missed 10 other eld-goal attempts in the second half – along with two free throws – that would have pulled New York into a tie or given it the lead. Miami bent – but never broke. Vincent set up Ade bayo for a dunk with 1:05 left that put Miami up 92-86, and at that point it be came a matter of getting stops. Brunson had 22 points in the rst half, tying his third-most before intermission in any game this season – and his most ever by halftime of a playoff game. He had 15 in the rst quarter when the Knicks came out ying to grab early control. New York led 14 in the opening quarter, and Mi ami never led by more than two in the rst 24 minutes. But it was Miami with the lead at the half, going up 51-50 by the break in large part because it nal ly kept New York off the line. The Knicks made 11 free throws in the rst quarter – the most by any Heat op ponent this season and ty ing the fourth-most against Miami in an opening peri od over the last decade. But they didn’t even get to the line in the nal 15:16 of the half. The score to that point: Knicks 29, Heat 17.

RAYSFrom page B1 TORONTO (AP) — Nick Cousins scored at 15:32 of overtime and Sergei Bo brovsky made 50 saves as the Florida Panthers beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in Game 5 of their sec ond-round playoff series on Friday to advance to the Eastern Conference nal. Aaron Ekblad and Carter Verhaeghe each had a goal and an assist to help the Panthers build a 2-0 lead in the rst period. Morgan Rielly and Wil liam Nylander scored for the Maple Leafs, who had advanced in the playoffs for the rst time in 19 years when they beat Tampa Bay in the rst round. Rookie goalie Joseph Woll had 41 saves in his rst home play off start. In the extra period, Cous ins buried his second goal of the playoffs off the rush short-side on Woll to send the Panthers to the confer ence nals for the rst time since 1996. Florida – the team with the fewest points to qualify for the postseason – won all three games in Toronto and improved to 6-1 on the road in the playoffs after also upsetting the record-setting Boston Bruins. The Pan thers will next face the Car olina Hurricanes, who also beat the New Jersey Devils in ve games. Woll was coming off a 24-save effort in a Game 4 win that avoided the sweep. The Maple Leafs now face an uncertain offseason despite its breakthrough against the Lightning. Gen eral manager Kyle Dubas doesn’t have a contract be yond June 30, while there have also been rumblings about the future of coach Sheldon Keefe. Nylander and Auston Matthews both have one year remaining on their contracts and can sign extensions as of July 1, while fellow star forward Mitch Marner’s no-move ment clause kicks in the same day. Toronto’s high-powered offense – including the so-called “Core Four” of Mat thews, Nylander, Marner and John Tavares – scored just three times in the series for a team that totaled just 14 goals over its nal seven playoff games, including a paltry 10 against the Pan thers. The Leafs nished the post-season 1-5 at home.Cousins scores in overtime to send Panthers into Eastern Conference final By JERRY BEACH Associated Press NEW YORK — Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Drew Rasmussen was placed on the 60-day injured list Friday with a right ex or strain, one day after tossing seven scoreless innings in a win over the New York Yankees. Rasmussen is hopeful he can avoid a third Tommy John surgery. He is 4-2 with a 2.62 ERA in eight starts this season, helping the Rays roll to the best record in baseball. The right-hander al lowed only two hits and walked none Thursday night in an 8-2 victory over the Yankees. But he felt some nerve discom fort in his right forearm while pitching to the last batter he faced, Gleyber Torres. Rasmussen’s nal four pitches were two cut fast balls in the mid-80s (mph) and two sweepers clocked at 79 mph, which wor ried manager Kevin Cash and pitching coach Kyle Snyder after Rasmussen regularly threw mid-90s fastballs all night. “I denitely felt it,” Rasmussen said. “Sne ids could see it, just from the velocity of the pitch es. The shapes were still right, the velocities were down a little bit. So he asked me how I was feel ing. He got me out of there as soon as possible.” An MRI revealed the exor strain, though Ras mussen’s ulnar collateral ligament appeared intact. Cash said Rasmussen is expected to visit Texas Rangers head physician Dr. Keith Meister next week. “Didn’t sleep great last night, knowing that we had an MRI coming, be cause those haven’t bode too well for me in the past,” Rasmussen said. Rasmussen underwent Tommy John surgery at Oregon State in 2016 and then again in 2017, short ly after he was drafted by the Rays and a physical revealed the UCL had torn again. “We’re not really think ing about that right now,” Rasmussen said, referring to another Tommy John surgery. “The imaging looked OK there when it comes to the UCL. But yeah, anything dealing with the forearm into the elbow is denitely, denitely scary. Prefer it when these things don’t pop up.” Rasmussen is the fourth Rays pitcher on the in jured list with an elbow issue. Shane Baz and An drew Kittredge are both recovering from Tommy John surgery last year, and Jeffrey Springs had the elbow operation late last month. Tampa Bay is also missing Tyler Glasnow (oblique), who had a 3.10 ERA for the team from 2018-21 before undergo ing Tommy John surgery. Rasmussen retired the nal eight batters he faced Thursday and threw just 76 pitches in his fth scoreless outing of the season. “I think we were all con fused to why he was com ing out at rst. We thought (he) was going to go (the distance),” teammate Shane McClanahan said. “He was throwing a hell of a game.” Trevor Kelley, who served as an opener Fri day night at Yankee Sta dium, became the 11th pitcher to start a game this year for the Rays, who en tered with the top mark in the majors at 30-9. “I’m condent that we’ve got guys that are capable of doing good things for us, but we’ve cut into our depth quite a bit,” Cash said. “Going to be leaning on guys to con tinue to do what they’ve done. If there’s a way to tick it up a little bit more, that’d be welcome.” The Rays selected righthander Chris Muller from Triple-A Durham to replace Rasmussen on the active roster. Tampa Bay also claimed right-hander Zack Littell off waivers from Boston and moved left-hander Garrett Cleavinger (right knee) to the 60-day injured list. In addition, right-hander Chase Anderson was claimed off waivers by the Colorado Rockies. Ander son tossed ve scoreless innings and earned a save in two appearances with the Rays.Rasmussen (flexor strain) on 60-day injured list, latest Rays starter to hit IL

Citrus County Chronicle Saturday, May 13, 2023 B5 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS McKINNEY, Texas — Scottie Schefer says he tries not to put too much emphasis on winning one tournament over another, even when his hometown AT&T Byron Nel son is in play. Ryan Palmer isnÂ’t keeping any secrets. Win the Nelson not far from his home in another Dallas-Fort Worth suburb, knowing it would qualify the 46-year-old Texan for next weekÂ’s PGA Cham pionship? “IÂ’d win this tournament and stay home next week, to be honest with you,” said Palmer, who lives in Col leyville but was born and raised in Amarillo in West Texas. “That means more to me.” Schefer shot his second consecutive 7-under 64 on Friday for a one-shot lead over Palmer and Mackenzie Hughes. PalmerÂ’s 65 and a 64 from Hughes put them at 13-under 129. Si Woo Kim shot 66 and was 11 under. S.Y. Noh, who tied the course record with an open ing-round 60, birdied his rst two holes before playing the nal 16 in 5 over. The South Korean had three 6s in a round of 74 and was 8 under, six shots back. Two-time defending cham pion K.H. Lee made the cut on the number at 4 under, but the South KoreanÂ’s bid to become the rst player in 12 years to win a tournament three consecutive times is all but gone. Lee birdied three of his nal six holes just to make the weekend.Grace opens with 61 for a 2-shot lead at LIV Golf TulsaBROKEN ARROW, Okla. — Branden Grace couldnÂ’t miss with his irons or his putter on his way to a 9-un der 61 to build a two-shot lead after one round of LIV Golf Tulsa. Grace nished with three straight birdies at Cedar Ridge, a course in the Tul sa suburbs that last hosted the LPGA Tour in 2008. He needed them to hold off Dustin Johnson, who showed signs of shaking off some rust by nishing with ve straight birdies. Johnson and Brendan Steele each shot a 63.SwedenÂ’s Forsstrom keeps 1-stroke lead at Soudal OpenANTWERP, Belgium — Unheralded Swedish golfer Simon Forsstrom maintained his one-stroke lead in the Soudal Open on the Europe an tour by posting a 4-under 67 in the second round.

For the rst time in a European Olympics, those event nals will be televised live on network television in the United States. NBC will have at least nine hours of weekday daytime coverage, expand ing to at least 11 hours on weekends. With Paris six hours ahead of New York, the marquee nals will air live in the morning or late afternoon. NBCUniversalÂ’s Peacock streaming service will have every sport and event live, including all 329 medal events, from July 26-Aug. 11, 2024. “The Paris Olympics are going to be the most binge-worthy event of 2024,” said Pete Bevacqua, Chairman, NBC Sports. “For those wanting to watch the competition as it hap pens, Peacock will have everything live, creating the greatest single destination in sports media history.” Most fans have wanted to watch Olympic events live. NBCUniversal has done that in the past with most sports, using its sister chan nels for around-the-clock coverage, but has kept the marquee events and nals for primetime. During the Tokyo Games two years ago, the only way to watch gymnastics nals live was on Peacock or oth er NBC Sports digital plat forms. This will be the rst time since 2012 that a Summer Games are being in held in Europe. The London Games marked the rst time NBC had a site devoted to stream ing every event live by using the Olympics world feed. That meant track fans could stream the 100 meter nals live while most waited until watching the taped cover age on NBC in primetime.NBC will air most of marquee Olympic events from Paris live during daytime rn r rrnnnnnn r ÂrÂÂrÂrrÂÂr rÂÂr r€ ‚ƒr„…†  Â‡ˆ‰‰Šr rÂnnnnn ÂrrÂrÂÂÂÂr  rŠ‹…………ŠÂ‚ ÂÂr  Ârr rÂŒÂr ÂÂÂÂrÂr‚ ƒr„…†nn ÂrrrÂr r  ÂŽƒrrÂŽÂrrr‘ÂÂr Âr ’ƒrn‚ƒr„…†nnnn“Âr r rrÂÂr r ÂŽ rÂrÂÂnÂÂrr r” rrÂ’r•…ˆn–nrnn—˜‚r™——n rr ‚‚rÂnnÂrrƒr„…†Âš r ’ƒ  rÂr r Â‡ˆ‰‰Šr r‚ Ârr r r ‚ƒr„…†‚rrÂr›” œ™œÂ–•‹n•‹žÂž•‹…

Wilson performed twice Thurs day –back-to-back –and deliv ered heartfelt speeches after her wins, which put her next to fellow winners and country music leg ends. She won album of the year for “Bell Bottom Country,” accepting the honor slightly breathless after performing her song “Grease.” Wilson called the album a “la bor of love” and said she wrote 300 songs during the pandemic. She said people often tell her how much the album means to their lives, and she said writing them “saved mine.” When she won female artist of the year, co-host Dolly Parton handed her the trophy. “I canÂ’t believe I just met Dolly Parton, rst of all,” Wilson said. She gave credit to the female art ists who preceded her and the sac rices she knew they had all made: “IÂ’m up here because of yÂ’all. Be cause of people like Dolly Parton, paving the way.” “For the little girls watching this, this stands for hard work,” Wilson said, referencing her trophy. “If youÂ’re going to be a dreamer, you better be a do-er.” Stapleton owned the stage at the end of the night, winning the ACMsÂ’ top honor. “I am shocked, truly,” Stapleton said. “By any imaginable metric, I donÂ’t deserve this. Â… IÂ’ve never thought of myself as somebody who would win this award.” He dedicated the award to his children at home, saying they sac rice a lot of time with him and his wife because of his career. Breathless moments werenÂ’t uncommon during the perfor mance-heavy show. Cole Swindell won the nightÂ’s rst award, song of the year, for “She Had Me at Heads Carolina.” He had just performed the song with Jo Dee Messina. Swindell later won single of the year for the same song. “Thank you country music fans, thatÂ’s all IÂ’ve ever been,” he said. “I donÂ’t know what I ever did to get this fortunate.” Singer-songwriter HARDY en tered the show as the leading nom inee and collected four awards. “Wait in the Truck,” his duet with Wilson, who was the second-lead ing nominee, won the music event award. “Thank you Lainey, you abso lutely killed it,” HARDY said. He credited her with making people believe in the song, which refer ences domestic violence and seek ing revenge. “This was a song about real life,” Wilson said. “I didnÂ’t want people to relate to this song, but a lot of them do.” Old Dominion frontman Matthew Ramsey used the bandÂ’s win for group of the year to address recent divisiveness and gun violence. He referenced the party atmosphere of the show but said he also rec ognized that “there are people ob viously hurting in the world right now trying to gure out how to make sense of the divisiveness and shootings and things like that.” Ramsey continued: “We are most proud to be able to make music for people that are hurting right now. So thank you for including us in the party and allowing us to make music for whoever needs it.” Garth Brooks and Parton host ed the two-hour awards show, streamed live on Amazon Prime from the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco. The easy banter between Brooks, in his rst hosting gig, and Parton carried the showÂ’s early moments. Parton closed out the show with a performance of a song from her up coming rock album. A later routine involved the pair video conferencing with Willie Nel son to wish him happy birthday. The country legend recently turned 90, and the ACMs honored him with a performance of NelsonÂ’s hit with Waylon Jennings, “Mammas DonÂ’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys” by Cody Johnson. The show opened with Keith Urban performing, ttingly given the location of the show, his song “Texas Time.” Texas references and celebrities ran throughout the show. Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith presented the rst award. HARDY was also a nominee as a songwriter for Morgan WallenÂ’s “Sand in my Boots.” The coun try superstar didnÂ’t perform as planned due to a vocal cord injury thatÂ’s halted his tour and was not in attendance when he won best male artist. Brooks took off his hat to honor Wallen, saying missing out on the show “must be killing him.” Hailey Whitters and Zach Bryan have won best new artist honors. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Today is Saturday, May 13, the 133rd day of 2023. There are 232 days left in the year. Highlight in history:On May 13, 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot and seriously wounded in St. PeterÂ’s Square by Turkish assailant Mehmet Ali Agca. On this date:In 1607, English colonists arrived by ship at the site of what became the Jamestown settlement in Virginia (the col onists went ashore the next day). In 1917, three shepherd children reported seeing a vision of the Virgin Mary near Fatima, Portugal; it was the first of six such apparitions that the children claimed to have witnessed. In 1973, in tennisÂ’ first so-called “Battle of the Sexes,” Bobby Riggs defeated Margaret Court 6-2, 6-1 in Ramona, California. (Billie Jean King soundly defeated Riggs at the Houston Astro dome in September.) In 1985, a confrontation between Philadelphia authori ties and the radical group MOVE ended as police dropped a bomb onto the groupÂ’s row house, igniting a fire that killed 11 people and destroyed 61 homes. In 2002, President George W. Bush announced that he and Russian President Vladi mir Putin would sign a treaty to shrink their countriesÂ’ nuclear arsenals by two-thirds. In 2016, the Obama admin istration issued a directive requiring public schools to permit transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their chosen gender identity. Ten years ago: President Barack Obama tried to swat down a pair of brewing con troversies, denouncing as “outrageous” the targeting of conservative political groups by the IRS but angrily denying any administration cover-up after the deadly attacks in Benghazi, Libya, in September 2012. Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell was convicted of first-degree mur der in the deaths of three babies who were delivered alive and then killed with scis sors at his clinic (Gosnell is serving a life sentence). Five years ago: President Donald Trump said he would help the Chinese telecommu nications company ZTE get “back into business”; the Commerce Department had earlier moved to block the company from importing American components. The body of 69-year-old “Super man” actress Margot Kidder was found by a friend near her Montana home in what was later ruled a suicide from a drug and alcohol overdose. One year ago: Russia suf fered heavy losses when Ukrainian forces destroyed the pontoon bridge enemy troops were using to try to cross a river in the east, Ukrainian and British officials said in another sign of Mos cowÂ’s struggle to salvage a war gone awry. Israeli police moved in on a crowd of mourners at the funeral of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, beating demonstrators with batons and causing pall bearers to briefly drop the casket. The crackdown came during a rare show of Pales tinian nationalism in east Jerusalem. TodayÂ’s birthdays: Actor Buck Taylor is 85. Actor Har vey Keitel is 84. Author Charles Baxter is 76.

Citrus County Chronicle Saturday, May 13, 2023 B7A & P In-law is riled over handicap parking permitDEAR AMY: I have been happily married for 39 years. The few “disagreements” we’ve had always seem to center around my husband’s family. The latest has to do with my brother-in-law. He has always had a very entitled attitude. When my mother-in-law passed away in 2020, the car she recently bought was taken over by him. I was ne with that. However, she also had a handicap parking permit that was issued to her by the state of New York due to her deteriorating health issues. My husband’s brother has chosen to use that permit illegally for the past two years. I have always suspected the fraud but didn’t want to accuse him and cause prob lems in the event that he had gotten his own permit. This past week he left the area to visit another relative and his car was left in our driveway while he was away. After checking the tag through the win dow, I conrmed that he has been illegally using my mother-in-law’s handicap per mit tag. This left me furious. Not knowing where the keys to the ve hicle were, I asked my husband to please remove the permit from his brother’s ve hicle since he shouldn’t be using it. My husband refused, saying he didn’t feel he had the right to remove something from someone’s vehicle without their per mission. I felt my husband is enabling him to continue this abuse. I am disappointed and have lost a lot of respect for my husband, who I love dear ly, over this. I’d appreciate your opinion as to wheth er I am overreacting in this matter. – An noyed! DEAR ANNOYED!: I can understand why you are so annoyed by your brother-in-law’s choice to use his late-mother’s hand icap permit, but I agree with your husband that it is not his place to remove it. I do believe you are overreacting to this, but I assume that this episode is a place holder for other in-law annoyances you’ve experienced over the years. Furthermore, you are blaming the wrong person for this! Your husband is refusing to do something you have told him to do. He is standing up to you, and yes – you don’t like it, but he has the right to dis cern and make choices based on his own values; and in this case I happen to agree with him. Now that your brother-in-law has left his car in your driveway for an extended pe riod, you have a legitimate reason to tell him that you’re aware of this and that it bothers you. In my opinion, he should be deeply em barrassed to be scamming off of a dead woman’s inrmities in this way, when do ing so also denies others with legitimate needs the ability to use a parking spot re served for them. This is from the New York State Depart ment of Motor Vehicles website: “The plates and permits may be used to park in reserved parking spaces only when the person with the disability rides in or drives the vehicle.” DEAR AMY: Several years ago, my hus band joined an all-male book club. This has been a good experience for him, and I believe all the guys enjoy it. Recently, my husband hosted the group in our home. I was in and out of the house during the meeting, not wanting to intrude. Unfortunately, I overheard at least some of their discussion, and I was appalled! These guys were being really sexist as they discussed the book (and other things). I’m not sure how to respond to this, and now I’m really wondering how and why my husband continues to partici pate. Your thoughts? – Appalled Wife DEAR APPALLED: Have you ever be longed to an all-woman book group – or been a guest at one? I ask because, if you want to witness some rampaging wine-fueled sexism, pop into a group of women speaking without restraint. My point is that this is a familiar dynamic in gendered groups. You might ask your husband how he feels about the tone and tenor of his book club, but unless there is a specic aspect of his behavior that you nd offensive – I suggest that you turn the page. DEAR AMY: On the topic of downsiz ing and returning decades-old letters to the person who originally wrote them [“Cleaning in Culver City”], I have a very simple solution: Ask rst! – Problem Solved DEAR SOLVED: This question has gar nered a huge response. And, yes, when tempted to return old letters or photos to the subject, the solution is simple: Ask rst!

GRAVES Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky Derby win ner Mage will run in the 148th Preakness following an encouraging workout at Churchill Downs, its co-owner said. Mage galloped about 1 1 / 2 miles at a brisk pace with exercise rider J.J. Delga do aboard on a cloudy but mild Friday morning at the track. Co-owner and bloodstock agent Ramiro Restrepo said the chestnut colt was “thriving” with good energy levels after his latest training session since winning the 149th Derby, paving the way for the horse to enter the Tri ple CrownÂ’s second jewel at Pimlico in Baltimore. “HeÂ’s had a magnicent week of training,” Restrepo said with co-owner Chase Chamberlin, co-founder and racing director of part ner CMNWLTH. “(Train er) Gustavo Delgado (Jr.) was just really pleased and over the moon of how heÂ’s come back. HeÂ’s shown all the positive signs. So, itÂ’s on to Baltimore and crab cakes, here we come.” Mage is coming off a one-length victory over Two PhilÂ’s in the Derby at 15-1 odds after charging into contention entering the stretch. The son of Good Magic and Puca by 2008 Derby and Preakness win ner Big Brown earned a signature win after running second and fourth in the Florida Derby and Fountain of Youth, respectively. He didnÂ’t run as a 2-year-old but won his debut at Gulfst ream by nearly four lengths. Mage will run in the 1 3/16th mile Preakness on May 20, just two weeks after covering 1 1 / 4 miles in the Derby in 2:01.57. Restrepo said the horse has done everything he did before the Derby, with his recovery being monitored after his longest trip. He will train again on Saturday morning before being driven to Baltimore with another workout planned on Monday. Hall of Fame jockey Javier Cas tellano, who won his rst Derby in 16 attempts, will again have the mount. “WeÂ’ve been just moni toring that situation with all the love that heÂ’s shown us on the racetrack,” Re strepo added. “WeÂ’re try ing to bestow that upon him and give him the time to show us whatÂ’s up and everything that he did prior to the Derby. “ItÂ’s continued all the way through, so that type of consistency merits a shot at the Preakness.” NASCAR asked for ‘meaningfulÂ’ talks as dispute skids into summer By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The ght between NA SCAR and its teams over a new revenue model prompt ed the owners of 16 char tered organizations to send a letter to NASCARÂ’s board of directors earlier this month requesting “mean ingful dialog” regarding the franchise model system. The letter, a copy of which was obtained by The As sociated Press, was sent to NASCAR via email on May 1, the same day NASCARÂ’s exclusive negotiating win dow expired with both Fox Sports and NBC Sports on a new television package. The letter essentially rep resents the entire Cup Se ries eld and acknowledg es that conversations with NASCAR have been pro ductive, noting a “tentative acceptance of the economic split of a new media deal.” But the letter makes clear the main sticking point between the teams and NASCAR re mains the charter system, un der which each of the 36 cars with a charter are guaranteed a spot in the 40-car Cup Series eld each week and a slice of TV package revenue. The charters, which are worth millions, require renewal. The teams want to make the charters per manent but NASCAR has balked, which led to the team owners skipping a scheduled April 5 meeting with NASCAR because they were at a “signicant impasse” over charters. The teams wrote in the letter that acceptance of “the new me dia split” was dependent on permanent charters. “We have seen the market for Charters rise since ini tially issued, but there is cur rently no real market due to the uncertainty surrounding the pending renewal pro cess,” the letter states. “In order to continue to invest in our Teams and the sport as a whole, we need to build long term value in our Char ter ownership that is stable, predictable, and permanent.” NASCAR declined to com ment on the letter other than noting it was received May 4. The stock car series in late April began scheduling meetings with individual race teams with NASCAR CEO Jim France and President Steve Phelps. The rst meet ing was held May 2, a person with knowledge of the meet ings told AP on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the talks. However, the Race Team Alliance that consists of all 16 chartered teams has made it known that the four-member negotiating committee represents all or ganizations in negotiations. The charter system was in troduced in 2016 to create a franchise model that protected team ownersÂ’ investment in a racing series founded by and independently owned by the France family. The charters can be held, sold and leased to other teams, and they can also be revoked by NASCAR. The current charters expire at the end of the 2024 sea son – the same time as NA SCARÂ’s current television package – and the negotiating committee told AP last month that NASCAR was unwilling to even discuss making them permanent. The committee is comprised of Jeff Gordon representing Hendrick Mo torsports; Joe Gibbs Racing president Dave Alpern; RFK Racing president Steve New mark; and Curtis Polk, an owner in 23XI Racing and longtime business manager for Michael Jordan. The four went public last October to reveal the teams found NASCARÂ’s current economic model unfair with little to no chance of long-term stability. NASCAR, which is run by the son and granddaughter of founder Bill France Sr., vowed to work on a solution. The letter sent this month said “substantial progress has been made on a frame work to address the econom ic issues.” But it asked NA SCAR to explain its position on permanent charters. “We would like to directly engage in conversations in order to understand (NA SCARÂ’s) concerns. Items that have been mentioned are general concepts about transfer restrictions, pro tection from bad actors and dealing with material adverse economic changes over time,” the letter says. “We have reviewed these concerns with our outside counsel and others who are well versed in such issues from other leagues, and we are optimistic that by work ing together we can work through these or any other specic concerns, just as we did successfully at the cre ation of the charter system.” Colin E. Braley / AP Drivers head down the front straightaway at the start of SundayÂ’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kan.
